[quote=KI Skins Fan;1006909]Tebow's insistence on trying to play QB is hurting his chance to have a successful NFL career as a hybrid TE. I think he could be a monster in that role. QB? No. Playmaker? Yes. Is his pride holding him back? At this point, I'd say yes.[/quote]

I mentioned this a while ago where I thought Tebow should've done what Michael Robinson of Penn State did. Robinson was a better passer than Tebow, just didn't have all the Baby Jesus media hype behind him. He realized right away that he wasn't a good enough passer to make it in the NFL so he went to playing FB and special teams. He didn't let his pride get in the way and now he's his 8th year in the league. Tebow should have done exactly what Robinson did. Or what our own Brian Mitchell did. Now he's out of the league in 3 years cause of his pride.

Denard Robinson will be playing RB for the Jags. Should be fun to watch.

Prior to Griffin I'd take Tebow as our QB for the last XXXX years.

Jets will beat out the Jags for the #1 pick...barely.


The Jags should just get Tebow as a TE. They can pair a TE who can throw with their new RB who can throw and at least put on a fun show while they're losing.

Re: Around the NFL-Draft News & Rumors
 

Vick will start at QB for Philly...if Kelly wants to run "his" offense.

Otherwise, they'll start Foles.

I don't see Barkley starting Week 1. I hope he does, we'll destroy them in the season opener.

We likely will no matter who plays QB, but Barkley is the worst of their options.

Re: Around the NFL-Draft News & Rumors
 

Barkley strikes me as someone that can get flustered easily. If he takes a bunch of hits, I could see him just having an epic meltdown.

Re: Around the NFL-Draft News & Rumors
 

Hopefully Chip Kelly will have an irrational, Spurrier-like thing for Barkley, who then will turn into Philly's version of Shane Matthews.

The rules for compensatory picks make no sense as none of these players made much of an impact with their new teams, especially Reed who got cut mid season. Maybe a couple 6th round picks but a 3rd and 2 4th rounders?! Seriously reeking of bullshit.

Oh please say yes Miami. Give Philly their own version of the Skins Jason Taylor trade. Everything I've read about him last year has been less then flattering. Least of which were questions concerning his work ethic. As of late he's on pace to be a Trent Richardson level bust.

A Trent Richardson level bust or a Brandon Graham level bust? :)

Re: Around the NFL-Draft News & Rumors
 

[quote=Lotus;1068053]A Trent Richardson level bust or a Brandon Graham level bust? :)[/quote]

Lol, a little of both but I'm going to go more towards Trent Richardson level since both he and Jordan were selected with the third overall pick in their respective drafts. Not to mention that both have now been involved in serious trade scenarios as sophomores.

Still can't believe though that Graham has been a bust. Having watched him in college I was horrified when the Eagles picked him. Somewhat nice to see he's been a bust for them. Wouldn't mind though if he revived his career far away from the NFC East.

[QUOTE]San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and two other NFL players are being investigated by Miami police about an incident involving a woman at a hotel earlier this month.

Miami Police Department public information officer Rene Pimentel told USA TODAY Sports earlier Thursday the investigation was for sexual assault but made a clarification saying the investigation being conducted by the Special Victims Unit is for a suspicious incident.

The investigation was originally reported by TMZ.

"There are no charges, definitely not. There is an investigation," Pimentel told USA TODAY Sports.

Re: Around the NFL-Draft News & Rumors
 

I'm curious to know, what are y'alls feelings about Detroit trading up for Watkins? Good move or Matt Mill 2:Electric Boogaloo?

On one hand I like Watkins, I watch ACC Ball and know what he can do. The offense would be absolutely sick with Megatron, Tate, and Watkins together. OTOH I remember all those first round WR busts from the Millen years. Also, our secondary is, as we say, a 20-year tire fire.

I think the better move would be to take the best CB available, obviously keeping in mind BPA. Detroit needs a legit CB, bad; and Megatron has Golden Tate now to take some of the pressure off. Watkins will be great, but trading up to take him with your need at CB just doesn't seem wise, in my opinion. Justin Gilbert will most likely be available when Detroit picks first, and that's the direction I would go.

Re: Around the NFL-Draft News & Rumors
 

i don't know that detroit really needs another receiver. i think your biggest problem is paying too much for your QB because he happens to throw to the best WR in the league.

I mean, i wouldn't immediately write it off as a terrible move, but last time i saw your offense, the passing game wasn't the problem. it just seems like a win more issue. he'll help you the most in games you would win without him, and he won't be the difference in games you'd lose (due to OL not stopping the rush, the D not stopping the other guys, etc).
